Alright same model car as Dfrost that just posted M1 5w-30 UOA yesterday, but with M1 0W-40 SN. I'm using the OEM oil filter. Use a K&N drop-in panel air filter. My daily driving consists of the occasional ~5 min max ride from my GF's to mine, 40 min 50/50 ride to work, same back home, then again some local "city"/rural driving at night.
In my eyes its about what I was expecting from a turbo that runs ~ 17.4 psi peak boost and uses direct injection. Some fuel dilution and some shearing. I went with M1 0W-40 with those two factors in mind, hoping it would stay around the 5w-30 mark, but while not being too thick.
As dfrost posted in his thread, the manual oil spec says:
Recommendation: 5W-30 ACEA A5
API: SL or SM or above
ILSAC: GF3, GF4 or above
ACEA: A3 or A5
SAE viscosity: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity number, which shows "5W-30 or 5W-40"
FYI I have M1 0w-40 in it again, planning on going the recommended 5k OCI now that i've seen the figures..
What's your opinion guys? How is the wear? Should I be concerned?
FWIW, I was thinking about giving PU 5w-40 a shot, or Redline 5w-30 maybe... Should I change it up?
